How an ETTCR escrow works
A clear, auditable path from agreement to closing.

Agree & open
Buyer and seller agree the terms; we open the escrow and issue clear instructions.
-
02
Compliance & documents
Parties submit compliance documents through our secure portal and we verify them.
-

Funds in custody
Funds are deposited and held neutrally until every condition is met.
-
04
Closing & release
Once conditions are satisfied we release funds and deliver the closing documents.
Security & compliance
Your documents and funds, protected at every step
We handle sensitive financial and identity information, so security is part of how we work, not an add-on.
